"The West is facing a concerted effort by Islamic jihadists, the motives and goals of whom are largely ignored by the Western media, to destroy the West and bring it forcibly into the Islamic world -- and to commit violence to that end even while their overall goal remains out of reach. That effort goes under the general rubric of jihad."-- Robert Spencer

EU = European Ummah

The Council of Europe is set to fight against anti-Islamism as a priority policy for the first time.

Anti-Islamism has been included in the text as a dangerous inclination that has to be fought against upon the insistence of Turkey at the historic summit that 46 Council members attended. The conclusion draft of the summit included the notion of "Islamophobia". The inclusion of this notion in the European organizations' documents for the first time is described as the success of Turkey. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan basically has a gun to his head prioritized the issue on the agenda during his speech at the summit on May 16 and asked the Council to adapt effective mechanisms against anti-Islamism.

With Turkey's support again, member states of the Council asked for the encouragement of inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue to develop universal tolerance and reconciliation in the final solution declaration. A decision envisioning the Council to appoint a coordinator regarding this issue and a Local Administration Congress to take effective action has also been stated in the action plan. . . . Thus, anti-Islamism as well as anti-Semitism [as though they are equivalent] will be dealt with within the framework of legal proceedings. The Council reports will include anti-Islamist movements. The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) will closely monitor these movements. The Commission will record in which country anti-Islamism increases or how it is reflected.

I don't s'pose any of these suicidal dhimmis would be interested in seeing what the U.S. National Intelligence Council has to say about all this. See especially the Caliphate Scenario, in the form of a fictional letter written in 2020 by a grandson of OBL, Khalifa Said Muhammad Bin Ladin.

UPDATE: Not to be outdone by his European betters, Detroit Dhimmicrat John Conyers has introduced House Resolution 288 against religious intolerance:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives–

(1) condemns bigotry, acts of violence, and intolerance against any religious group, including our friends, neighbors, and citizens of the Islamic faith;

(2) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith, should be protected;

(3) recognizes that the Quran, the holy book of Islam, as any other holy book of any religion, should be treated with dignity and respect; and

(4) calls upon local, State, and Federal authorities to work to prevent bias-motivated crimes and acts against all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith.

Take heart. At least when Dhimmicrats "take action," it's invariably in the form of non-binding resolutions, strongly-worded letters, endless task forces, or some other comically impotent measure.
